I found people used 3 and 5 inch mattresses with it, but I just received my crib and it says no more than a 2 inch mattress can be used. Thoughts?

We used a thicker mattress for comfort, but once the baby got more active the thicker mattress allowed her to stand a little taller in the crib. We simply dropped the mattress frame down further. We've not experienced any further issues, still love this crib. I hope that helps you!

I bought the Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress, White (on amazon) and it fits just fine in there.

It perfect for an 18 month through almost five year old-depending on how big you child is. My daughter started in hers at 2 and will be 3 soon and is still very comfy in it! I used the mattress from her crib. That's the only size that fits. Only bummer to it is it won't hold adult weight and we constantly have to catch ourselves from sitting on the edge of it :)

This not absolute. Our mattress is approx 9" and it appears to have enough material for at least 2+" additional. You could email the manufactor....

I got my sheets for this crib from amazon. I purchased the 3" mini mattress and got the sheets to fit. Everything fit nice and snug. Try searching amazon for mini crib sheets.

No pack n play has a 5 inch mattress-buy it and try it like I and most other people did. Or google it and find the same item at Babies R us which tells you the size. I made a mistake in my original post-sue me.

I don't know why and bought a 3" mattress since it didn't specify why. The 3" mattress fits perfectly and is comfortable and safe for our baby. But I can't imagine why you couldn't use anything other than a 2" mattress after looking at it. I'm sorry this doesn't clear up the "why" but hopefully it will help if you are looking to buy a thicker mattress and were wondering if it would fit.

I asked this question as well but found that most crib mattresses are the same size. The one I purchased for this crib wasSealy Perfect Rest Crib Mattress and it fits perfectly.

Honestly, I use regular size crib sheets and a crib-size mattress pad and fold the excess under the mattress. Saves on buying another set of sheets and it's been working for us just fine.

Agree with the below ... A crib mattress would be too big and bulky to fit inside. Good suggestion about getting a foam insert. Hadn't thought about since my son seems to sleep fine on it the way it is.

I have a 3 inch mattress and yes it is the right size to put by your bed...However I bought it for my Reborn Doll nursery and use it for display. I just know it is very sturdy and the right size up to 6 months old... Heart of my Heart Reborn Studio, Normi Douglass

We did buy a mattress for this, only because the 1 year old was going to use it to sleep in. We had piked up a portable crib along with the play pen for my nieces 2 youngest after she had a fire that took everything. If the baby is just going to use it as intended it shouldn't need an extra mattress.

Any typical size crib mattress. We have this crib and LOVE it! I would do the set, you can order the mattress, the crib, and a changing pad together. Email me if you have any more questions about the crib! Caseyspeaker@gmail.com It did take a long time to put together but totally worth it!

I had a mini crib & standard crib, the mattress size is smaller in mini crib.

I put the 2" on a top a not so good mattress in my teenager's room and he loves it. If the mattress is real hard I would probably go with 3 inch if you like your bed to feel soft.

Mattresses do vary a little in size and you want to make sure it fits snugly. I have the Babyletto Mercer crib and the mattress fits great. You should be able to find the suggested mattress size or dimensions that should fit in your crib - try google for the crib specifications.

No, although when I got mine Amazon was offering a free mattress with this crib. We didn't like the mattress they were offering though and got a better one. So maybe see if they have the same special going on or wait a bit til it comes back? Hope that helps!

I purchased a mattress on Amazon listed as a "standard crib mattress size" and it fits perfectly. I just looked up the mattress I bought and it says it is 52.5 x 27.5
